Re: Group_PTF_Currency: Trying to find out what I really need to order.

The problem is the tool gives the same message regardless of the state of
the PTFs. Would be great if there was a "IBM i Updates" dashboard that
told me everything about all licensed programs in one glance of the eye.
Or maybe there is such a thing and I am ignorant.

I'm not sure there is an error or problem with this. The tool is looking
at
what's applied, and clearly your three groups are not applied. Furthermore
just because you have them loaded, but not applied does not mean there is
not a newer version out there. I get where your thinking is going, but I
just don't see the problem here. Those three groups are not applied
therefore you need to get them and apply them. The fact that you already
have them (in this case current ones) is not what the tool was trying to
determine.

I am pretty sure I ran into this earlier this week but figured I forgot to
do something. I didn't think to go into WRKPTFGRP. I've submitted my
vote.

I am trying to find out what group PTF's I need to order so I ran:

However when I run
WRKPTFGRP
I get
PTF Group Level Status
SF99876 1 Installed
...
SF99728 3 Installed
SF99728 4 Apply at next IPL
SF99725 1 Installed
SF99725 2 Apply at next IPL
SF99724 3 Installed
SF99724 4 Apply at next IPL

So technically I do not need to order SF99724, SF99725, SF99728 as I
already have them.

I submitted a RFE to address this. If this affects you and you'd like
to vote on it then please do so.
